Cinema and literature have been together since the beginning. Many literary works have been adapted for the big screen. Some, like “Little women” by Louise May Alcott, have been adapted up to seven times. It’s not a surprise that the cinema, as a massive medium from the beginning, has been a tool to discover some classic literature pieces to the general public. This has happened with unknown works but also with best sellers. Comparisons between the book and the screen version are commonplace among fans of reading and the seventh art, which demonstrates its ability to reach all types of audiences.
